Signature Entertainment has released a trailer for a film that is set to come to Prime Video mid next month. Prizefighter is described as a rags to riches awe-inspiring boxing biopic set in 1800.

Here’s the synopsis:
In 1800 Jem Belcher became the youngest ever world boxing champion. Belcher, played by Matt Hookings, dominated his early fights with his unique skill, speed, and scientific approach and soon became Champion of England, a natural talent, oozing with charm, style and grace. After a life-changing accident risked ending his career forever, he begins a long, gruelling road to recovery which eventually sees him compete in a death-defying standoff – known only as The Forgotten Fight of the Century – to reclaim his title once and for all as England’s youngest boxing champion.
Hookings wrote the script, while the film is directed by Daniel Graham (The Obscure Life of the Grand Duke of Corsica).
The film hits Prime on 22nd July.
